Anna Catherine Hickey-Moody “contributed” to science how carbon fiber is sexist. Yes, there is actually an academic paper that carbon fiber oppresses women. Take a look at the abstract for the paper:

In this paper I am concerned with instances in which carbon fiber extends performances of masculinity that are attached to particular kinds of hegemonic male bodies. In examining carbon fiber as a prosthetic form of masculinity, I advance three main arguments. Firstly, carbon fiber can be a site of the supersession of disability that is affected through masculinized technology. Disability can be ‘overcome’ through carbon fiber. Disability is often culturally coded as feminine (Pedersen, 2001; Meeuf, 2009; Garland-Thompson 1997). Building on this cultural construction of disability as feminine, in and as a technology of masculine homosociality (Sedgwick, 1985), carbon fiber reproduced disability as feminine when carbon fiber prosthetic lower legs allowed Oscar Pistorius to compete in the non-disabled Olympic games. Secondly, I argue that carbon fiber can be a homosocial surface; that is, carbon fiber becomes both a surface extension of the self and a third party mediator in homosocial relationships, a surface that facilitates intimacy between men in ways that devalue femininity in both male and female bodies. I examine surfaces as material extensions of subjectivity, and carbon fiber surfaces as vectors of the cultural economies of masculine competition to which I refer. Thirdly, the case of Oscar Pistorius is exemplary of the masculinization of carbon fire, and the associated binding of a psychic attitude of misogyny and power to a form of violent and competitive masculine subjectivity. In this article I explore the affects, economies and surfaces of what I call ‘carbon fiber masculinity’ and discusses Pistorius’ use of carbon fiber, homosociality and misogyny as forms of protest masculinity through which he unconsciously attempted to recuperate his gendered identity from emasculating discourses of disability.

If carbon fiber oppresses women, then wait until we can become cyborgs. I anticipate feminists will start shrieking that cyborgs are a MRA army, if carbon fiber scares them this much.

Several authors (some of which were men, but without women’s contributions this paper wouldn’t exist) “contributed” to science how men use glaciers to oppress women. At least that’s what I think the paper says. It’s hard to tell since it is filled will gibberish if it’s abstract is anything to go by:

Glaciers are key icons of climate change and global environmental change. However, the relationships among gender, science, and glaciers – particularly related to epistemological questions about the production of glaciological knowledge – remain understudied. This paper thus proposes a feminist glaciology framework with four key components: 1) knowledge producers; (2) gendered science and knowledge; (3) systems of scientific domination; and (4) alternative representations of glaciers. Merging feminist postcolonial science studies and feminist political ecology, the feminist glaciology framework generates robust analysis of gender, power, and epistemologies in dynamic social-ecological systems, thereby leading to more just and equitable science and human-ice interactions.

The privileging of solid over fluid mechanics, and indeed the inability of science to deal with turbulent flow at all, she attributes to the association of fluidity with femininity. Whereas men have sex organs that protrude and become rigid, women have openings that leak menstrual blood and vaginal fluids… From this perspective it is no wonder that science has not been able to arrive at a successful model for turbulence. The problem of turbulent flow cannot be solved because the conceptions of fluids (and of women) have been formulated so as necessarily to leave unarticulated remainders.

I guess all of those male physics professors and scientists who study fluid mechanics should just give up. For International Women’s Day, celebrate these female contributions to science.

I could make the case that Carbon Fiber helps women, since it makes many things light enough for women to use.

* A suit of armor stronger than 15th century plate mail armor (60 pounds) would weight only 5 pounds with carbon fiber.
* Bikes made of carbon fiber are lighter, so more women can use a full-size bicycle (since it is now light enough to carry up stairs, etc.).
* Cars with carbon fiber are lighter, so that in the event of an accident, women, who weigh less than men, are less likely to be hurled through the windshield.
* Many attractive bodices and corsets can be 3D Printed in carbon fiber, for women’s fashion. There are already 3D Printing fashion shows.

‘Feminism’ is just proof that most of humanity is obsolete (80% of men and 99% of women), and that artificial intelligence will be the successor. The relationship that women have to science (‘Shirtgate’ being the best example) proves this.

The few humans that value similar goals as AI are the only humans who might prosper once AI reaches certain capabilities.

That said, we are in the wrong business. If government grants can be had by writing this sort of bogus ‘paper’, when we should do it, under a female pseudonym. Drain their money by beating them at their own game…

The few humans that value similar goals as AI are the only humans who might prosper once AI reaches certain capabilities.

For surviving in a world with AI, people will be two options. The first option is to become a cyborg. The second option is to hope that the AIs and cyborgs create baseline (unmodified) human reserves, and that they will send you there to live either an Amish lifestyle or lifestyle similar to the Kalahari Bushmen. Living in a baseline human reserve would probably be like living in an Amish community (with less outside contact), or living like one of those isolated Amazon tribes, or living like the Kalahari Bushmen in one of Africa’s game reserves. Even if the cyborgs and the AIs create baseline human reserves, there will only be so much room in them, especially since they will lack a lot of technology. I anticipate a lot of people will end up choosing becoming obsolete without the protection of being on a baseline human reserve.

It is far worse than that. Women are literally hurtling into obsolesence, since the only thing they are truly useful for, is something they are doing less and less of, despite consuming more and more resources.

Manginas are even more obsolete, but no one will spend resources to save them.

It’s like that. That woman couldn’t even realize that she shot herself in the foot with her “reasoning” since the exact opposite could be argued using the same “reasoning”. For example, someone could say that men innately have a better understanding of fluid mechanics because of how men urinate. She’s too vagina focused to realize that.
